Until recently, it was very easy to debunk the idea that Black Lives Matter is a politically mainstream organization focused exclusively on the fight for racial justice. All you had to do was point in the direction of BLM&#8217;s official website, which had a tab right at the top called &#8220;What We Believe&#8221; leading to a section of the site that outlined, well, what they believe. And by their own admission, they believed, and were fighting for, many things that the vast majority of human beings on Earth, whatever their race, would find bizarre or objectionable. But sometime in the past few days, the &#8220;What We Believe&#8221; page at BlackLivesMatter.com was unceremoniously scrubbed, with no explanation offered publicly.
If you spend a little more time searching on the site now, there are still ominous signs that this is a radical organization. In fact, you don&#8217;t have to search that hard at all. The &#8220;<a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/">Herstory</a>&#8221; section tells us about the &#8220;three radical black organizers&#8221; who founded BLM. Actually, they&#8217;re all professed Marxists, though that fact is not shared. It also claims that black people are being &#8220;systematically and intentionally targeted for demise,&#8221; which is patently untrue and completely absurd. There is a one-paragraph detour into LGBT issues but most of the rest of the content in this section and on the rest of the site is relatively sanitary and inoffensive, though there is no shortage of false narratives being peddled.
BLM&#8217;s &#8220;About&#8221; section tells us this about the group&#8217;s beliefs and goals:
<blockquote>We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities. We must ensure we are building a movement that brings all of us to the front.
We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. Our network centers those who have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.
We are working for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically targeted for demise.
We affirm our humanity, our contributions to this society, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression.</blockquote>
But this is a very selective abridgment of what the &#8220;What We Believe&#8221; page used to say. Unfortunately for BLM, though, everything lives forever on the internet. A visit to the <a href="https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:_TlcZdn-HFMJ:https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/+&amp;cd=1&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us&amp;client=firefox-b-1-m">cached version</a> of the deleted section allows us to compare what they want us to know about their goals today against what they used to say about themselves. Here are the beliefs BLM used to announce proudly, before the memory-holing process began (emphasis mine):
<blockquote>We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.
We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.
We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.
We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts.
We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).</blockquote>
The most notable goal that BLM no longer wants to advertise is the disruption of &#8220;the western-prescribed nuclear family structure.&#8221; To call such a belief &#8220;far left&#8221; would be a vast understatement. With its direct opposition to the nuclear family, BLM had positioned itself on the fringes of the fringes of the fringe. And considering that it is precisely the &#8220;disruption&#8221; of the nuclear family in the black community that has contributed so heavily to the socioeconomic problems that plague it, BLM&#8217;s affirmation and promotion of this self-destructive trend is especially grotesque and dangerous.
There are other notable changes, too. Even the word &#8220;comrades&#8221; — which brings communism to mind, as it was intended to — has been removed. And notice the intense, nearly single-minded, focus on the problems of &#8220;heteronormative thinking,&#8221; &#8220;cisgender privilege,&#8221; and the alleged oppression of LGBT people, with a special emphasis on the T. What does any of this have to do with racial justice? Does the average black American care about &#8220;heteronormative thinking,&#8221; or even know what the phrase means? I suspect not, and the same goes for the average white American or the average American of any other race. These are the buzzwords and priorities of blue-haired gender studies majors, not normal working class families.
Would all of the people wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts still be wearing them if they understood what cause they were really representing? It seems that BLM itself was worried that the answer to that question is &#8220;no.&#8221; And now they have gotten rid of most of the content that hinted at the truth: that BLM is, more than anything, a militant Marxist organization that cares most about LGBT issues but uses racial justice as a cover.

Jimmy Fallon had little choice but to grovel for forgiveness after his comedy sin got exposed earlier this year. Twenty years ago, the “Tonight Show” star darkened his skin to enhance his impression of black comedian Chris Rock.
The act was innocent at the time, part of a larger comic meme where white performers used makeup to appear black. Few, if any, people howled in protest at the time, and the practice was commonplace. The culture didn’t draw a direct line between the makeup and the inexcusable blackface incidents of the early 20th century, which were cruel, calculating, and intended to hurt black Americans.
Consider the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/07/us/celebrities-in-blackface-list-trnd/index.html">following stars who darkened their skin</a> during the late 20th century/early 21st century sans significant repercussions (at the time):
<ul>
<li>Fred Armisen</li>
<li>Sarah Silverman</li>
<li>Jimmy Kimmel</li>
<li>Tina Fey</li>
<li>Paula Deen</li>
<li>Gene Wilder</li>
<li>Robert Downey, Jr.</li>
<li>Billy Crystal</li>
</ul>
Today’s culture is more sensitive, more willing to protect black Americans from any connection to the country’s ugly, racist past. So when Fallon’s Chris Rock impression “re-surfaced” (as if by magic!), the comedian had little choice but to respond.
He apologized profusely from his “Tonight Show” perch, starting a long “conversation” about race.
The result? The press still viewed Fallon with suspicion for being insufficiently anti-Trump, but they hoped he would use the incident to push for social justice (and progressive causes) via his popular talk show. <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/jimmy-fallons-re-education-trump/">And he’s done exactly that</a>.
Yet it didn’t have to happen. Rock could have stepped up at the time of the “re-surfacing” and defended Fallon.
“We all hate blackface now, but my buddy didn’t realize it at the time. He didn’t mean to hurt or insult me, he was just doing an impression. He’s a friend!”
That kind of support from Rock would have changed, well, everything for Fallon.
Instead, Rock went radio silent, leaving Fallon to fend for himself. Now, with Rock out promoting his work in “Fargo’s” fourth season, the comedian is <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/09/chris-rock-jimmy-fallon-blackface">speaking out about Fallon and the blackface imbroglio</a>.
“Hey, man, I’m friends with Jimmy. Jimmy’s a great guy,” Rock told The New York Times. “And he didn’t mean anything. A lot of people want to say intention doesn’t matter, but it does. And I don’t think Jimmy Fallon intended to hurt me. And he didn’t.”
Rock did intend to hurt Fallon, though, by staying silent when it mattered most. Fallon ended up begging for our forgiveness, but it could have been worse. He might have lost endorsement deals, or even his job.
When Cancel Culture knocks on your door, anything can happen. Just ask Kevin Hart, Roseanne Barr, or J.K. Rowling.
And the woke mob loathes Fallon already for his affable interview with then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump at the end of the 2016 election cycle.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Rock said that while the sketch itself—where Fallon, wearing dark makeup and a leather jacket, impersonated Rock—was “bad comedy,” he didn’t hold any hard feelings toward Fallon himself. He “doesn’t have a racist bone in his body,” Rock said of Fallon, adding that the host called Rock after issuing a public apology for the offensive sketch.
So Fallon isn’t a racist in any way, shape, or form, but Rock let him twist in the wind by staying silent at the time.
Sad.
Later, Rock admits the powerful forces lined up against anyone who appears in blackface, past or present, or dares to defend any aspect of it now. The journalist asked if the push to erase blackface moments from comedy had gone too far.
“If I say they are, then I’m the worst guy in the world. There’s literally one answer that ends my whole career,” he said. “Blackface ain’t cool, OK? That’s my quote. Blackface is bad. Who needs it? It’s so sad, we live in a world now where you have to say, I am so against cancer. ‘I just assumed you liked cancer.’ No, no, no, I am so against it. You have to state so many obvious things you’re against.”
It wasn’t always this way, and Rock knows it. He also knows, on some level, that when Fallon needed a friend in show business the most, a fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum stood down rather than lend a hand.
A version of this article appears on HollywoodInToto.com.

A University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student has resigned from her teaching position and lost a teaching job at another university after admitting to falsely claiming to be a person of color.
CV Vitolo-Haddad admitted to posing as a person of color and apologized in two Medium posts last week, CNN <a href="https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/17/us/wisconsin-grad-student-race-trnd/index.html">reported</a>. Vitolo-Haddad, who also uses the pronouns they/them and also claims to be nonbinary, announced they were resigning as co-president of UW’s Teaching Assistants’ Association.
Vitolo-Haddad’s troubles began on September 4, when an anonymous person on Medium <a href="https://medium.com/@polite_keppel_dinosaur_57/cv-vitolo-haddad-another-academic-racial-fraud-c5c41fe32110">accused</a> the graduate student of falsely identifying as black and continually changing their story on their family history.
“Though their claim to a POC identity was vague, the one consistency was their insistence that they were a constant target of acts of racism and that they came from some kind of nonwhite background. They referenced it frequently on social media and in interpersonal conversations,” the anonymous person wrote. “Their stories lacked coherence, but they intimated an insider status that made (and makes) people hesitant to question them.”
The writer compared Vitolo-Haddad to Jessica Krug, a tenured African History professor at George Washington University who resigned after an investigation was opened into whether she masqueraded as a black woman for years, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/african-history-professor-under-investigation-for-masquerading-as-black-woman-resigns">reported</a>.
Like Krug, Vitolo-Haddad has also “shirked any (potentially Afro) Latinx identity over the past year and begun claiming North African Blackness,” the author wrote.
Vitolo-Haddad then wrote their own post on Medium admitting to the deceit, writing, “so deeply sorry for the ways you are hurting right now because of me.”
&#8220;I have let guesses about my ancestry become answers I wanted but couldn&#8217;t prove. I have let people make assumptions when I should have corrected them,&#8221; they added.
Vitolo-Haddad made a second post that was edited on September 11, finally admitting they were of southern Italian/Sicilian heritage, CNN reported.
&#8220;It was my choice and error to identify any differently,&#8221; Vitolo-Haddad wrote.
&#8220;When asked if I identify as Black, my answer should have always been &#8216;No.&#8217; There were three separate instances I said otherwise,&#8221; Vitolo-Haddad wrote. &#8220;I should have never entered Black organizing spaces.&#8221;
&#8220;They are not my place. Once realizing this, it wasn&#8217;t sufficient to just leave; I should have explained that directly to the people who invited me and clarified my identity,&#8221; they added.
The revelation also cost Vitolo-Haddad a tenure-track position at California State University-Fresno, CNN confirmed.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, Jessica Krug made headlines earlier this month after an investigation was opened into her alleged false identity. In that case, a <a href="https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85">blog post</a> on Medium allegedly written by Krug herself admitted to the deception.
“To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” the post stated. “I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring.”

The National Football League season got fully underway on Sunday, with some players kneeling and raising fists in protest over racial injustice while others stayed off the field for the “Star-Spangled Banner,&#8221; America&#8217;s national anthem.
In the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons, players dropped to one knee just after the opening kickoff. Minnesota Vikings players locked arms a half-hour before their game against the Green Bay Packers as “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is being called the Black anthem, was played. In Washington, D.C., members of the Philadelphia Eagles stayed in the locker room during the national anthem.
Some fans didn&#8217;t like politics mixing with their Sunday sports. &#8220;I think the NFL is taking a big misstep in making their product not about the game of football and making it about the political agendas of some of its players,&#8221; Packers fan Andy Duffrin of Marinette, Wisconsin, <a class="class" href="https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/2020/09/12/player-protests-divide-green-bay-packers-fans/5705572002/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">told</a> the Green Bay Press-Gazette. &#8220;The proof is in the pudding and the pudding they are about to serve up is not going to taste very good to a lot of loyal fans.&#8221;
At the season opener between the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Houston Texans &#8212; one of the few contests to include fans in the stadium &#8212; the crowd&#8217;s boos rained down on players as they linked arms on the field.
&#8220;After the Houston Texans remained in the locker room during the national anthem, fans booed them when they emerged from the tunnel at its conclusion. The booing continued as the two teams walked to midfield and shook hands, their interlocked arms stretched from one end zone to the other during what was supposed to be a moment of silence,&#8221; The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/561c74297aef243e58ac573afe4d8e26" rel="nofollow">reported</a>.
The ratings were not good, with Nielsen Media Research announcing the prime-time game between the Texans and the Chiefs dropped 11% in the key 18-49 demographic, even with digital views up, <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/09/nfl-ratings-down-season-kickoff-kansas-city-chiefs-coronavirus-houston-texans-nbc-1234575251/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according</a> to Deadline.
One national pollster found that Americans don&#8217;t like their football mixed with politics.
<a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/319256/farming-rises-sports-tumbles-industry-ratings.aspx">&#8220;According</a> to Gallup, the sports industry now boasts a negative image among U.S. adults: 30 percent see the sports industry positively, compared to 40 percent reporting a negative image,&#8221; The Federalist <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/11/gallup-public-favorablity-towards-the-u-s-sports-industry-has-collapsed/">reported</a>. &#8220;This year’s survey illustrates a 30 percent decline from American views on the sports industry a year ago, when the corporate sports enjoyed a net positive 20 percent rating, with 45 percent of Americans reporting a favorable opinion compared to 25 percent who said otherwise.&#8221;
<blockquote>Gallup shows sports favorability among Republicans sinking overwhelmingly in comparison to Democrats, with a 46 percent drop in a positive outlook among Republicans whereas Democrats only saw a 5 percent drop in their favorability towards corporate sports in the last year.
Non-white Americans also dropped their support for the industry more steeply than did white Americans. White Americans now express a net-negative 22 percent sports rating while non-white Americans hold a 16 percent net-positive.</blockquote>
Before the NFL season began, President Trump warned against politicizing sports. &#8220;People are tired of watching the highly political @NBA. Basketball ratings are WAY down, and they won’t be coming back. I hope football and baseball are watching and learning because the same thing will be happening to them. Stand tall for our Country and our Flag!!!&#8221; the president wrote on Twitter.

Last Friday President Trump stood up to the race hustlers and issued an order to “cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars” for the dissemination of Critical Race Theory (CRT) via mandatory instructional courses for government workers, including the military. The order directs federal agencies to begin the process of identifying and eliminating “all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on ‘critical race theory,’ ‘white privilege,’ or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
A tweet from the President called CRT “a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Please report any sightings so we can quickly extinguish!
&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1302212909808971776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 5, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
CRT catechesis has been a routine requirement for all U.S. government employees since 2011, when Barack Obama issued an <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2011/08/18/executive-order-13583-establishing-coordinated-government-wide-initiativ">executive order</a> for federal agencies to provide regular, compulsory training “to promote diversity and inclusion.” That may sound like a prescription for some innocuous courses in common courtesy, but in practice, this on-the-job training for government workers has featured a style of highly politicized <a href="https://youtu.be/cRXNaUz5LGY">indoctrination</a> that closely resembles Chinese Communist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session">“struggle sessions.”</a>
The President&#8217;s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/M-20-34.pdf">order</a> halting the practice came in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/M-20-34.pdf">memo</a> from Russell Vought, Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The memo refers to CRT as “divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda [that] should have no place in the Federal government.”
It’s a bold statement, contradicting the current canons of political correctness, but the memo’s characterization of CRT—and Mr. Trump’s tweet—are both dead-on accurate and easy to substantiate. The tenets of CRT are the ideological kerosene fueling the destructive violence that has plagued American cities all summer.
We all acknowledge that racism exists and that it is a manifestation of the sin of partiality which the Bible directly condemns (James 2:9). The racism of CRT is very different. In case you are not familiar with CRT, it is the vicious, pernicious, and virulent brand of identity politics that results when neo-Marxist social philosophy is blended with postmodern theory. The CRT credo includes the following poisonous doctrines:
<ul>
<li>“Racism” is unconquerable and ubiquitous; it is the singular evil that underlies virtually everything wrong with our culture. It is “the stain that will never be removed.”</li>
<li>“Systemic racism” and “unconscious bias” are built into the current structure of western society. This cannot be remedied apart from the wholesale dismantling and restructuring of political mechanisms, economic policies, moral standards, and other social norms.</li>
<li>White people are members of the world’s most privileged ethnic group. “White privilege” is not only one of the main proofs of systemic racism; it is also a subtle but sinister injustice to other people groups.</li>
<li>The term racism describes a uniquely white pathology. Members of less privileged ethnic groups are victims, not perpetrators, of social injustice — and it is therefore legitimate for them to retaliate with retributive violence or expressions of ethnic contempt. This is not “racism,” but an appropriate response to the oppression they suffer.</li>
<li>“White supremacy so permeates our institutions, policies, practices, and ways of knowing that it is nearly impossible to think outside it.” It is full-on <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/stanford-racial-terror-impossible-to-think-outside-of-white-supremacy">“racial terrorism.”</a></li>
<li>All white people are racists, whether they want to be or not.</li>
<li>“Whiteness” is therefore an evil that must be confessed and repudiated, but without any guarantee of forgiveness.</li>
<li>Members of privileged ethnic groups who deny being racists are guilty of perpetuating racism.</li>
</ul>
That is by no means an exhaustive list of CRT dogmas, but those are enough to explain why after nearly a decade of relentless indoctrination in this system, the result has been an explosion of ethnic animosity and civic unrest. This is a worldview that deliberately foments and feeds on resentment, strife, hatred, and division.
CRT is, as our President says, a sickness. It is a ruthlessly cynical, divisive, pessimistic, misanthropic, sociological cancer. It is the greatest danger our nation currently faces, but no national leader has stood up to halt its spread until now.
In short, the doctrines of CRT are dangerous to society’s wellbeing. But more, they are <a href="https://twitter.com/falkirk_center/status/1303087507106664451/photo/1">unsound and unbiblical</a> — and <a href="https://juicyecumenism.com/2020/02/11/critical-race-theory/">utterly incompatible with authentic Christianity.</a> CRT diverts attention from the real problem with the human race: all are sinful and under divine judgment. It removes the centrality of Christ and the cross. It turns the hearts and minds of Christians from things above to things on this earth. It obscures the promise of forgiveness for hopeless sinners by telling people they are hapless victims of other people’s misdeeds. It is devoid of love.
Christians are the last people who should ever become offended, resentful, envious, or unforgiving. Love “does not take into account a wrong suffered” (1 Corinthians 13:5). The mark of a Christian is turning the other cheek, loving our enemies, praying for those who mistreat us. Christ is the example whose steps we are to follow: “While being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously” (1 Peter 2:23).
Hatred, envy, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, hostility, divisiveness, bitterness, pride, selfishness, hard feelings, vindictiveness — and all similar attitudes of resentment — are the self-destructive works of the flesh. The beneficial fruit the Holy Spirit produces are the exact opposite attitudes: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” The NIV translates 1 Corinthians 13:5 this way: “[Love] keeps no record of wrongs.”
Such qualities, frankly, directly contradict the core principles of CRT.
In spite of all that, over the past few years, CRT has aggressively made itself at home in the evangelical community. How, you might ask, is that possible? Don’t they have more discernment than Trump?
Apparently not.
The besetting sin of pragmatic, style-conscious evangelicals has always been that they shamelessly borrow fads and talking points from the unbelieving world. Today’s evangelicals evidently don’t believe “the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). Virtually any theory, ideology, or amusement that captures the fancy of secular pop culture will be adopted, slightly adapted, perhaps cloaked in spiritual-sounding language, propped up with specious proof texts, and peddled as an issue that is vital for evangelicals to embrace — because, after all, we don’t want to be perceived as totally irrelevant.
That’s precisely how evangelicals in the mid-twentieth century became obsessed for several decades with positive thinking, self-esteem, and psychotherapeutic methodologies. After that, it was marketing savvy and promotional strategies. By the beginning of the twenty-first century it was postmodernism, repackaged and aggressively promoting itself as the Emerging Church Movement.
Today, critical race theory, feminism, “toxic masculinity,” intersectional theory, LGBT advocacy, progressive immigration policies, animal rights, and other left-wing political causes are all actively vying for evangelical acceptance under the rubric of “social justice.” Evangelical leaders are beginning to employ the same rhetoric and rationale of victimhood vs. oppression that is relentlessly employed by secularists who advocate for all kinds of deviant lifestyles and ideologies. It is a worse form of “worldliness” than Christians in earlier generations ever contemplated.
Indeed, as social justice rhetoric has gained currency among evangelicals, just about every cause that is deemed politically correct in the secular world has found a foothold among evangelicals. CRT is one of those causes. It would be folly to pretend CRT and the social justice movement pose no threat whatsoever to evangelical conviction.
Nevertheless in 2019, the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest conservative evangelical denomination, passed <a href="https://www.sbc.net/resource-library/resolutions/on-critical-race-theory-and-intersectionality/">Resolution 9</a>, formally commending CRT as a useful “set of analytical tools that explain how race has and continues to function in society.” Baptist seminaries now feature <a href="https://youtu.be/M--gMO64r6U">courses and seminars indoctrinating students with CRT principles</a>.
Key leaders throughout the evangelical movement have begun preaching doctrines and using rhetoric borrowed directly from the catalogues of CRT literature. Some of the largest Christian conferences of the past half-decade have been narrowly focused on race and social justice, and the message being sent is heavily influenced by the ideology of CRT. Viewpoints and vocabulary like “white privilege” and “systemic racism” have literally been <a href="https://denverseminary.edu/racism-a-reflection-and-a-prayer/">added to the liturgy</a> or <a href="https://calvarychapel.com/posts/cgn-statement-on-racism">adopted as articles of faith</a> in some evangelical organizations. Some even subject their Christian employees to <a href="https://youtu.be/0qa_KywRiHg">CRT-inspired training seminars</a> exactly like the ones correctly labeled “divisive, false, and demeaning” by the White House.
James Lindsay is an author and mathematics scholar who gained fame by helping expose the fraudulent nature of “grievance studies.” He is an atheist who describes himself as politically liberal. But he is also an articulate critic of countless absurdities and falsehoods that emerge out of postmodern theory. Speaking to evangelicals in particular, he warns that <a href="https://youtu.be/IKpU6lyZKws">CRT is a Trojan horse,</a>smuggling ideas into the movement that will undermine and eventually eliminate core biblical values and doctrines. He is absolutely right about that.
So how do James Lindsay and President Trump have the clarity and courage to expose CRT for what it is, while so many pastors and church leaders continue to dabble in such a destructive and obviously divisive worldview? This is one of those instances where “the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light” (Luke 16:8). Though Christians are often pictured as sheep in Scripture, we are not supposed to cultivate the artless dim-wittedness that is characteristic of such animals. Rather, Jesus said, “Be shrewd as serpents” (Matthew 10:16).
Never has the church of Jesus Christ been more desperately in need of bold, courageous, clear-thinking, forthright, steadfast biblical leadership. As refreshing as it is to see a shift at the government level away from the deliberate dissemination of CRT propaganda, this urgently needs to happen in the church too.
There are too many hirelings in the place of shepherds. Our Lord knew this was to be a reality and addressed it directly: “He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep” (John 10:12-13). Evangelicals are opening the door for hirelings. The prophet Jeremiah warned long ago:
<blockquote>Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: &#8220;You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds,&#8221; declares the Lord. “Then I Myself will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and bring them back to their pasture, and they will be fruitful and multiply. I will also raise up shepherds over them and they will tend them; and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing,&#8221; declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:2-4)</blockquote>
The promise from the Great Shepherd is to replace the false shepherds with faithful shepherds and hold fast to His sheep.
I’m grateful for the President’s courage in issuing this order. He will no doubt get a great deal of pushback — possibly even from those pastors and church leaders who are already too heavily invested in sociological theories that have no basis in Scripture. I pray he will stay the course — and that evangelical leaders will rethink their support for such divisive deception and return to proclaiming the true unity that is found in Christ, who already “broke down the barrier of the dividing wall” between ethnicities (Ephesians 2:14). For those who have put their trust in Him, “there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” <a href="https://www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/81-53/sanctification-the-believers-transformation-part-2">(Galatians 3:28)</a>.

A tenured African History professor at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., has resigned from her position amidst an investigation that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/professor-of-african-history-admits-masquerading-as-black-woman-for-years">she masqueraded as a black woman</a> for years.
“Update regarding Jessica Krug: Dr. Krug has resigned her position, effective immediately. Her classes for this semester will be taught by other faculty members, and students in those courses will receive additional information this week,” George Washington University tweeted Friday afternoon.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Update regarding Jessica Krug: Dr. Krug has resigned her position, effective immediately. Her classes for this semester will be taught by other faculty members, and students in those courses will receive additional information this week.

The university initially launched its investigation into the professor after a 1,200-word <a href="https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85">blog post</a> published under Krug’s name detailed her history of lying about her race throughout her life, and called upon herself to be “cancelled.”
“To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” wrote the author. “I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring.”
Describing the professor’s secret as shocking, the George Washington University history department released a statement calling on Krug to resign as an associate professor for the university.
“With what she has termed her &#8216;audaciously deceptive&#8217; appropriation of an Afro-Caribbean identity, she has betrayed the trust of countless current and former students, fellow scholars of Africana Studies, colleagues in our department and throughout the historical discipline, as well as community activists in New York City and beyond. The discipline of history is concerned with truth telling about the past. With her conduct, Dr. Krug has raised questions about the veracity of her own research and teaching,” said the department.
Krug does not appear to have released any public statements acknowledging the investigation or her subsequent resignation from the university.
The blog post revealing the professor’s secret concluded: “I have lived this lie, fully, completely, with no exit plan or strategy. I have built only this life, a life within which I have operated with a radical sense of ethics, of right and wrong, and with rage, rooted in Black power, an ideology which every person should support, but to which I have no possible claim as my own. There is no way for me to satisfactorily end this statement. This isn’t a confession, it isn’t a public relations move, and it damn sure isn’t a shield. It is the truth, though.”

Those who teach foreign languages to English-speaking students, especially American students, will have to be careful what words they teach from now on, lest a foreign-language word sound like an offensive English word.
At the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, communications professor Greg Patton recently gave an online class in which he explained a filler word in Chinese meaning “that.” Patton explained to his class that the filler word, “nega,” is akin to saying “um” or “like” in English.
Patton repeated the word a few times and then said it was like them saying “that, that, that.” Despite the clear explanation and context, some students were apparently offended by the Chinese word. These were business school students, so one has to wonder what would have happened had they been in a meeting with Chinese businessmen and heard the word without an advance explanation from Patton.
Campus Reform has video of the professor’s lecture and <a href="https://campusreform.org/?ID=15580">reported</a> that Patton is no longer teaching the course.
“Recently, a USC faculty member during class used a Chinese word that sounds similar to a racial slur in English. We acknowledge the historical, cultural and harmful impact of racist language,” USC said in a statement.
Another instructor is currently teaching the class as Patton “agreed to take a short term pause while we are reviewing to better understand the situation and to take any appropriate next steps,” the school’s statement added.
In addition to Patton no longer teaching the class, at least for now, USC is also “offering supportive measures to any student, faculty, or staff member who requests assistance.” In the statement to students, the school said that it was “committed to building a culture of respect and dignity where all members of our community can feel safe, supported, and can thrive.”
University and college professors are increasingly under attack from students who claim to be offended by what they teach and whether or not they are sufficiently accommodating to students who claim to be affected by racial injustice.
As The Daily Wire reported in June, students at the University of California-Los Angeles wanted two professors fired for doing their jobs.
Gordon Klein, an accounting professor, received an email from a group of students requesting the professor allow for a “‘no-harm’ final exam that could only benefit students’ grades, and for shortened exams and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects,” Inside Higher Ed <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/06/04/professor-resigns-after-criticizing-protesters-and-another-faces-calls-his">reported</a>. The students requested all of these accommodations due to recent “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter.”
Klein responded with a sarcastic email.
“Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota,” Klein wrote back to the students.
“Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?” he asked them. “How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only?”
Klein went on to ask about students who “may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian?”
“What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half?” he asked.
Another UCLA professor, political science lecturer W. Ajax Peris, received calls for his resignation because he read aloud MLK’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” which included the n-word. As The Federalist <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/09/ucla-students-demand-two-professors-be-fired-for-doing-their-job/">reported</a>, students “hearing a white lecturer read the n-word from a letter written by a jailed civil rights leader and watching lynching imagery made them feel so ‘uncomfortable,’ they asked Peris to stop.” He apologized for causing “discomfort,” but continued teaching. UCLA’s Political Science Department condemned Peris for failing to “meet the students’ needs” and referred him for a discrimination investigation.

Jessica Krug is an author, activist, and professor of African and Latin American studies, who has spoken and written in great personal detail about her black identity. In her <a href="https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1301598798393888769?s=20">bio</a> she has described herself as an “unrepentant and unreformed child of the hood.” The only problem is that the hood was, apparently, a suburb in Missouri. And when she called herself African and black all those years, what she really meant to say is that she’s white and Jewish. 
In a lengthy <a href="https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85">confession</a> posted to Medium yesterday, titled “The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies,” Krug lays it all bare:
<blockquote>To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness. I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring. People have fought together with me and have fought for me, and my continued appropriation of a Black Caribbean identity is not only, in the starkest terms, wrong — unethical, immoral, anti-Black, colonial — but it means that every step I’ve taken has gaslighted those whom I love.</blockquote>
Two questions are raised here:
1)  If all of the privilege in America belongs to white people, then why would a white person reject that identity and assume a less privileged one? According to the Left and Krug herself, Krug is not the only white person to fraudulently assume black identities. Rachel Dolezal is an obvious example. But we are also told that white people are constantly appropriating from black culture, which is why blackness must now be zealously guarded from the agents of whiteness, who threaten at any moment to break into the fortress and steal a hairstyle or cultural fashion or whatever else. But why would this be a problem in a systemically racist country? Is there any historical example where an oppressed group is also at the same time so admired and sought after that one of their biggest problems is how the oppressors want so badly to adopt their styles and customs?
2) Perhaps more to the point, why exactly can&#8217;t Krug identify as black? Why isn’t her self-identity legitimate? If she says she feels like a black woman, and identifies most strongly with that community, who is to say she&#8217;s wrong? Well, I can say she&#8217;s wrong. Anyone who rejects the notion of gender fluidity can say she&#8217;s wrong, as we believe that a person&#8217;s fundamental identity is not something that can be changed on a whim. It is not subjective. Our perception of ourselves may be subjective, but our identity itself — our biology and the demographics to which we belong — are simply facts, no matter how we feel about them. But that’s not the position the Left takes. They say that a woman might be born a woman, with a female body, female DNA, female bone structure, and yet if she finds within herself some sort of vague, undefinable feeling of maleness, then she is a man. So what if she finds a vague, undefinable feeling of blackness? Why is she not then black? 
You might argue that she cannot really &#8220;feel&#8221; black because she doesn&#8217;t know how black people feel. To say that she knows it because she feels it is circular reasoning, begging the question. That&#8217;s true, but the same applies to gender. Or you could answer that our race is not a changeable part of us. We’re born with it. Again true, but again I point you back to the man/woman dichotomy. The same applies there. You might say that it’s offensive for a white woman to call herself black. She&#8217;s making a caricature of that identity and claiming what doesn’t belong to her. Again, true. And again, the same applies to a woman&#8217;s appropriation of manhood or man&#8217;s of womanhood.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b3y2acCiL-4?start=1789" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">﻿</iframe>
There simply is no valid argument for denying a white person’s right to be black but not a woman&#8217;s right to be a man or a man&#8217;s right to be a woman. In fact, terms like &#8220;fluid&#8221; and &#8220;socially constructed&#8221; apply much more to race than to gender. If either race or gender can make a claim to being &#8220;on a spectrum&#8221; and easily changeable, certainly the case that race can make for itself would be quite a bit more persuasive. It is not that race actually is a social construct, but that gender is so totally and absolutely not constructed that turning it into a construct automatically removes the foundation for calling anything else objective and immutable. Even the objectivity of our age and species are called into question by the arbitrary subjectification of gender. So, the Left must make a choice. Either accept Jessica Krug as the black woman she has always felt herself to be, or admit that our physical identity is not formed by, and cannot be changed by, our emotions.

Singer Demi Lovato opened up about the shame she feels for her white privilege and how she changed her social advocacy following the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, both of which sparked a wave of Black Lives Matter protests across the country.
Writing in <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/demi-lovato-letter-of-hope-pandemic-mental-health-black-lives-matter">Vogue</a>, the singer lamented for several paragraphs about her ongoing struggles with mental illness and anxiety, which the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated. Looking back on 2020, she feels it has been a year of great change that has helped her realize how much more she should be doing to help other people.
&#8220;I’ve always taken my advocacy work seriously, but now I’m looking at it with renewed focus. In this particular instance, what motivated me was knowing how much of myself comes from Black culture,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;I grew up listening to Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and other soulful singers, but those two Black women in particular shaped me into the vocalist I am. If you look at my life, everything that I have — money, success, a roof over my head — it’s because of the inspiration those Black women gave me. I continue to be constantly inspired by people of color today.&#8221;
&#8220;So here I am, sitting in a home that I was able to afford with the money that I have from singing, while people of color are fearing for their lives every day,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I realized this was a lightning bolt jolting through my body, where I was reminded of my privilege. I felt an overwhelming responsibility to help spread awareness about this injustice, so I began posting things that I thought would educate people.&#8221;
Lovato admitted to being at first uncomfortable with this newfound racial advocacy, which then culminated into her feeling ashamed for her privilege and the fact that she shares the same skin color as those who are accused of committing &#8220;heinous crimes&#8221; against black people.
&#8220;All I knew was that I hated that I shared the same skin color as the people accused of committing heinous crimes against Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many, many other Black lives,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;After taking some time to educate myself, what I’ve learned is that to be a good ally, you need to be willing to protect people at all costs. You have to step in if you see something happening that’s not right: a racist act, a racist comment, a racist joke. And it’s not just with Black Lives Matter. It’s also with the Me Too movement. Finally, the world is waking up and it’s beautiful to witness.&#8221;
Going forward, Lovato said she does not know exactly how society should change, only asserting that it needs to be more inclusive of all people, including transgender individuals.
&#8220;Creating environments where women, people of color and trans people feel safe is important,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Not just safe, but equal to their cis, white, male counterparts. People need to feel like they can enter a space and know they’re not going to be sexually harassed or underpaid. The music industry needs to pay attention. In fact, the entire entertainment industry needs to pay attention.&#8221;

The United States of America is a huge country with a population of 330 million people and a land mass of 3.8 million square miles. Only China and India have a larger population, and only Russia and Canada have larger land masses. To provide some perspective, the United States alone has a larger population than the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined.
In the same way that certain news stories in Spain are relatively unimportant in the United Kingdom, the same should be true of some news stories in the United States. While there are certainly stories which are relevant on a national level, there clearly exists a scale of importance which shrinks as the scope of the focus increases. As an extreme example, the mild vandalism of a local park bench may be breaking news in a small town but has no place on the front page of the New York Times.
Given that the relevance of news stories can change based on the breadth of its audience, what makes one story relevant to a local news station and another relevant on a national — or even international — level?
Unfortunately, the responsibility for answering this crucial question lies in the hands of the mainstream media. The result of their monopolization of the national narrative is that they have full control of the metrics used to determine a story’s relevance. Under pressure from the modern wave of fast-moving internet-based news and social media platforms, they have abandoned their duty to follow a patient pattern of investigation in pursuit of truth. Instead, stories are selected entirely on whether they can be used to garner instantaneous attention and push a political narrative.
If the initial story can be used to support this narrative, then it is distributed on a national scale with no regard for the accuracy of any immediate assumptions or premature conclusions. If the story doesn’t support this narrative — or worse, counters this narrative — then the strategy is either to ignore it completely, prevent it from gaining widespread attention, or to spin the story to erase its impact.
Each of these strategies are applied with such regularity that the results are plain for all those with intellectual honesty to see: the mainstream media are no longer driven by journalistic integrity, but the desire to promote a given narrative with political objectives. In short, journalists are now activists. This has uncovered a strange journalistic “face off,” where the driving factor is not relevance, but race.
The race-based nationalization of non-national stories with no regard for facts or context
There are some stories which grow organically to justify their national focus. One recent example is the death of George Floyd during his arrest in Minneapolis. The widespread (and bipartisan) anger in response to the available information — particularly video footage — gained an understandable level of attention. The fact that the story of George Floyd, who died in objectively shocking circumstances, aligned with the Left’s general belief that the United States is suffering from a systemic level of racism and police brutality — which can only be solved by electing Democrats — was a cynical bonus.
However, in the wake of the violence which has spread across the country with George Floyd’s death as the alleged catalyst, the mainstream media are clearly looking to maintain the momentum of the Black Lives Matter agenda by continuing to further the notion that all violent instances which have some racial component are therefore racially motivated.
While the conflation of cases by race is something we have come to expect from Democrats — Joe Biden himself <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/06/joe-biden-latino-african-american-remark-392354">suggested</a> that the African American community is not diverse — the same should not be true of our “journalist class.” However, mainstream media outlets now follow a familiar pattern which involves holding up a color swatch next to the alleged “perpetrator” and the alleged “victim,” with the labels of “victim” and “victimizer” often defined by unreliable and biased sources. If the “victim” is black and/or the perpetrator is “white,” the story passes their test and can be used to “prove” their “broad truth” that the United States is therefore inherently racist.
This is the logic which allowed <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/17/the-rayshard-brooks-case-is-not-another-george-floyd-incident/">Rayshard Brooks</a> to be advertised as the “next” George Floyd, despite the fact that the only similarity between the two cases was the race of the “victims” and “perpetrators.” Rather than being the primary variable of importance, Brooks’ behavior in the events preceding his death was irrelevant. His skin color fit the narrative, and so he became a household name. The same is true of Jacob Blake. After Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the mainstream media worked to bury all details of the incident other than Blake’s race. Blake was another “black man” shot by a police officer, and a “white” police officer at that. Blake’s outstanding arrest warrant, his alleged attempt to resist arrest, or his alleged proximity to a deadly weapon were, again, irrelevant.
The names Rayshard Brooks and Jacob Blake are now known across the country entirely because the mainstream media decided it should be so. While every death is a tragedy, and every life has value, the circumstances of each death are undeniably crucial in determining its relevance to the national debate over racism. The mainstream media have intentionally ignored the importance of evidence, context, and truth in favor of fast-tracking any story which can be made to fit their shallow racial objectives. Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Michael Brown. They fit that narrative. Race matters; facts don’t.
This strategy doesn’t just apply when the “victim” is black. The mainstream media act with a stunning level of carelessness when it comes to presuming and applying guilt based on race. Nick Sandmann was nationally despised after the mainstream media decided to project racist motivations based on his awkward smile during a bizarre confrontation. Kyle Rittenhouse has been labeled as a white supremacist mass murderer, with the media focusing on his race, gender, and age as primary variables of importance, despite video evidence which suggests that Rittenhouse’s use of deadly force was self-defense — with one “victim” visibly holding a handgun when he was shot. Again, race matters, facts don’t.
The counter-productive search for racial counter narratives
In an attempt to protest the sporadic nationalization of stories which fit the Left’s narrative, some among the political Right have attempted to protest by pushing for the nationalization of stories which fit some form of counter-narrative. With any such attempt, it’s important to understand the subtle difference between working to debunk the Left’s narrative with stories which provide counter-arguments and simply fighting the Left’s fire with fire.
One example of a valid counter-argument would be the attempt to promote evidence which exposes the flawed assumptions underlying a national story. Promoting video evidence of Rayshard Brooks’ arrest, radio transmissions of Jacob Blake’s arrest, or Department of Justice conclusions that the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was fabricated are examples of such actions.
There are others who — somewhat justifiably — see the Left’s control of the national narrative and ask the question “well, why isn’t THIS story in the news?” The crucial point here is not this question, but the motivation behind this question. For example, there was minimal national coverage when 5-year old <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/08/14/cannon-hinnant-killing/">Cannon Hinnant</a> was murdered. The man accused of his murder was Hinnant’s neighbor, a 25-year old black man called Darrius Sessoms. Cannon Hinnant’s name trended on Twitter, with much of the outrage driven by the mainstream media’s apparent reluctance to report on Hinnant’s murder.
In such instances, if the motivation is to highlight the mainstream media’s clear bias when it comes to the selection (or rejection) of stories based on racial narratives, then such anger is completely valid. By pointing out this bias, the outcome should be the careful selection of stories based on national relevance and objective evidence. If race is proven to be a motivating factor in the murder, then clearly the story is relevant to the national debate. If someone is attempting simply to achieve some form of retaliatory nationalization of one “counter story” based on race in response to another story based on race, then the underlying problem will only be worsened.
***
The United States has a bizarre obsession with race. To some extent, this is understandable given the United States’ history of racial discrimination in slavery and Jim Crow and the long-lasting impact of past racist policies on communities. However, there is a clear difference between the acknowledgement of history’s impact on the modern day and the continued obsession with applying an irrelevant racial gradient to every societal interaction or event.
The mainstream media is responsible for continuing to fuel this obsession. Racism exists, without a doubt. But by dominating the national conversation fueled by subjectivity in pursuit of a false premise, the mainstream media are not fighting racism. We can never hope to truly end racism if the label of racism is diluted by its continual misattribution. We can also never hope to truly end racism if we attempt to counter the cynical promotion of false racial narratives with racial counter-narratives. The goal should be for the national conversation to be based on objectivity, rather than racial mutually assured destruction. The goal should be for the irrelevant focus on color to remain irrelevant.

If there was one moment during the Republican convention that caused my official Daily Wire Leftist Tears Tumbler to magically overflow, it was in a speech by former Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley.
&#8220;In much of the Democratic Party, it&#8217;s now fashionable to say that America is racist,” Haley said. “That is a lie. America is not a racist country.&#8221;
Democrats and the media — but I repeat myself — reacted swiftly.
“I’m just hung up a little bit about Nikki Haley,” said hung up ABC Anchor Linsey Davis. “A comment that she made, ‘America is not a racist country.’ I think that that’s a statement that a lot of black people, black and brown people, would take umbrage with.”
Chicago Tribune columnist Dahleen Glanton was blunter, saying the statement made Haley “appear to be either disgracefully ignorant or a blatant liar.”
But, of course, what Haley really was, was completely correct. There is a history of institutional racism in America, no doubt, but today our country is wholly free of it. The U.S. is easily the least racist nation on the planet. There is certainly nowhere else with such a multi-ethnic population as committed to keeping its institutions fair. Why, in America, a black person can be elected president — twice — something no other white majority nation can say.
But the idea that all this might be true is a tremendous threat to the Democrats’ near monopoly on black votes. They live on racial division. This is why, in the words of Wall Street Journal Columnist Jason Riley, Democrats “focus their energies on keeping black people angry and paranoid, not on improving black lives.”
This is also why people of color like Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron are sometimes greeted with unprintable racist name-calling from the Left. In a graceful and powerful convention speech, Cameron addressed Joe Biden, referring to his many untoward remarks about blacks. “Mr. Vice President, look at me, I am Black, we are not all the same, sir. I am not in chains, my mind is my own, and you can&#8217;t tell me how to vote because of the color of my skin.” If even twenty percent of black voters would say the same, there would be no Democrat Party.
In their efforts to keep “black people angry and paranoid,” leftists have cooked up the phrase “systemic racism.” I’m not sure this phrase is supposed to have any very definite meaning. I think it’s meant rather to be a license for perpetual grievance. But insofar as it means anything, it seems to refer to the fact that American ideas and ideals derive from places like Greece, Jerusalem, Rome, and especially England where the people’s skin was more or less white.
And yes, it’s true, our ideas did come from those places. And assimilating into a nation based on those largely English ideas often requires some sacrifice of cultural identification. Jews who assimilate have to accept values derived from the same Christianity that has often oppressed them, Irish have to play by the political rules of their age-old enemies the English, and so on. Assimilation is complex and difficult and goes against the natural grain because it puts ideas over instinctive tribal loyalty. It requires grace, forgiveness, and a willingness to align yourself with a history that may not have always been friendly toward your particular group.
And yes, it’s even harder for blacks in America, because it’s here, in this nation, where the crimes of race-based slavery and Jim Crow were perpetrated against them. There is one more step of forgiveness black Americans have to take.
We on the Right find – or should find – such forgiveness particularly praiseworthy. The assimilationist lives of men like Daniel Cameron are, in this regard, lives of Christly grace. Clinging to bitterness and resentment is the norm in human behavior. Rising above to embrace the good beyond personal instincts is a higher path.
That blacks might seize this new post-racial day of American good will and opportunity and take that higher path, that they might join at last the endless array of peoples who have put aside the ancient racial hostilities to become fully committed Americans — this is the biggest threat identitarian Democrats face.
That is why they are in a panic. That is why they have to keep the bitterness hot. That is why they are inciting racial hysteria at every opportunity. They know that racial unity is closer than ever.
The violence in Democrat cities may be the beginning of a reign of terror. But it may also be the beginning of the end for the Left’s ugly race-based narrative.

Driven by their growing obsession with identity politics, the Left never fails to take race and gender into account when deciding someone’s political and ideological value. Assuming the flawed notion of intersectionality — the Left&#8217;s theory on overlapping categories of victimhood — a person&#8217;s sex and skin color are routinely lauded as a proxy for one’s virtue, or applied as a shield against attack.
This defensive strategy is becoming increasingly common. In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s defeat was not met with objective analysis or self-reflection, but the assumption that she lost <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/opinions/hillary-clinton-interview-sexism-robbins/index.html">because she was a woman</a>. The media decried the “<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/10/fear-of-a-female-president/497564/">wave of misogyny</a>” which was supposedly triggered by her candidacy. Satisfied with this conclusion, they frequently ignored or downplayed the many glaring reasons for her failure. After all, why question yourself when you can just claim that anyone who disagrees with you is sexist?
With Kamala Harris suffering a resounding political rejection by her own party that somehow culminated in the announcement that she would be Joe Biden’s running mate, the Left are pre-empting the potential re-election of Donald Trump by laying the same groundwork of faux victimhood. Meanwhile, criticisms of Harris are being pro-actively rejected by claims that they are motivated solely by sexism and racism — the Left’s favorite duo.
It would be naive to argue that some opposition to Harris will not be at least partially rooted in sexism or racism. Both forms of bigotry are an unfortunate reality of human nature, and apply to more than just “women of color.” There are those who oppose Jewish candidates because they’re Jewish, old candidates because they’re old, or rich candidates because they’re rich. But to try to suggest that all arguments against Harris are driven by a hatred of “women of color” is an obvious act of intellectual dishonesty. If we accept this bizarre premise, isn&#8217;t the Democratic Party sexist and racist when they enthusiastically rejected Harris during the primaries? Was Tulsi Gabbard — also a woman of color — sexist and racist when she calmly <a href="https://youtu.be/RgbnIdXQVZQ">listed</a> “problematic” moments in Harris’s political history?
In reality, the Left only references identity groups when there is the potential for political leverage. The premise necessary for this strategy of selectively claimed victimhood is the belief that Democrats are uniquely equipped with the ability to determine what is and is not bigoted. Often, they even know what’s best for you, even if you are a member of the “minority” they are “protecting.” Such logic allows them to continue to act with their trademark brand of arrogant paternalism, accuse their opponents of bigotry without evidence when it’s politically advantageous, and shamelessly ask <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/white-women-voters-conservative-trump-gop-problem">loaded questions</a> like “why do white women keep voting for the GOP and against their own interests?”
At the heart of this issue is the inherently bigoted claim that people can be labeled as “good” or “bad” based on their genitalia or the color of their skin. While Biden may believe that there is no diversity amongst African Americans, for example, those of us who exist in reality understand that you cannot judge anyone in such binary ways and that to do so based on immutable characteristics which are entirely unrelated to one’s character is the very definition of bigotry.
What we are witnessing from the Left is the intentional application of bigotry in order to achieve political objectives under the guise of achieving “equality.”
But what is equality? Surely equality does not mean treating some people more favorably than others based on their race or gender, or that certain races or genders are not subject to legitimate criticism? If we assume the Left’s premise, why is criticism of Nikki Haley, Candace Owens, or Sarah Palin permitted, even celebrated?
The answer is obvious. Haley, Owens, and Palin are individuals. Their gender or race is completely irrelevant when it comes to the subjective validity of their viewpoints. The same is true of Kamala Harris. To enforce unequal treatment — whether critical or not — of any person in the political arena based on their race or gender is to endorse the ultimate antithesis of equality.
If we want equality, then we have to be able to criticize everyone, including women — even Democratic women.

A University of Central Florida professor is the latest to face political and work-related backlash over comments he made on social media. Unable to fire the professor for his tweet, the university opened a massive investigation into his decades-long career to find something it could use to terminate him.
Professor Charles Negy has been an associate professor of psychology since 1998. He teaches controversial subjects, such as Cross-Cultural Psychology and Sexual Behavior, and can often be blunt. His personality has caused some strife among the UCF community, but he has received routinely positive evaluations.
This June, however, Negy’s eccentric personality and non-mainstream thoughts got him into trouble with today’s woke crowds. Negy commented on <a href="https://www.takimag.com/article/the-bonfire-of-the-insanities/">an article</a> written by Steve Sailer for Taki’s Magazine, which concluded:
<blockquote>What America needs to do is treat blacks as human beings with free will who when they make good choices should enjoy the benefits and when they make bad choices should experience the consequences. Instead, The Establishment views blacks as our Sacred Cows, above criticism, but beneath agency.</blockquote>
Negy responded to the article by saying it was “spot on (will infuriate folks).”
“Black privilege is real: Besides [affirmative] action, special scholarships and other set asides, being shielded from legitimate criticism is a privilege. But as a group, they’re missing out on much needed feedback.”
The article is much more controversial, and though many may disagree with Negy’s choice to share it and his comments regarding it, he didn’t do anything to warrant an investigation by UCF. His tweets are protected by the First Amendment, and he had no previous complaints lodged against him by anyone suggesting he was discriminatory against black students.
After his tweets, people on Twitter started the hashtag #UCFfirehim, but UCF president Alexander Cartwright bemoaned the fact that he couldn’t fire Negy for the tweet.
“The Constitution restricts our ability to fire him or any other University employee for expressing personal opinions about matters of public concern. This is the law,” Cartwright <a href="https://quillette.com/2020/08/13/the-floridian-inquisition/">told</a> the Orlando Sentinel.
Negy’s attorney, Samantha Harris, wrote about his case at Quillette, arguing that since Cartwright couldn’t just fire Negy for the tweet, he asked students and faculty to come forward with accusations of discrimination. Cartwright first addressed Negy’s tweets and then said: “If any student, current or former, believes they may have experienced abusive or discriminatory behavior by any faculty or staff member, we want to know about it. UCF takes every report seriously. Concerns can be reported to UCF’s IntegrityLine, which also takes anonymous complaints.” (Emphasis added.)
As Harris wrote, the “witch hunt” worked:
<blockquote>Since June 4th, a litany (we don’t know the exact number, because they won’t say) of complaints has been lodged against Negy for his classroom pedagogy, for speech that allegedly occurred over a 15-year period from 2005 to 2020. The university charged Negy with discriminatory harassment on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, sex, gender identity/expression, and disability—it is worth noting here that Negy himself is both an ethnic and sexual minority—while providing him with only a handful of “examples” of his alleged wrongdoing. Negy begged for more information prior to his investigative interview so that he might prepare to defend himself, but UCF refused.</blockquote>
Negy on Friday attended an “investigative interview,” at which Harris was present, which lasted four hours and consisted of a UCF investigator continuously grilling Negy “about accusations stemming directly from his classroom pedagogy, having made no effort to weed out the countless accusations that were obviously just critiques of his choice of teaching material.”
“UCF also made no effort to consolidate allegations, repeatedly asking Negy variations of the same question, ad infinitum. And again, virtually all of these questions related directly to Negy’s pedagogy, which deals with unavoidably controversial subjects,” Harris continued. “When Negy, physically and emotionally exhausted after four hours of interrogation, asked if the interview was almost over, we learned that the investigator had not even gotten halfway through her list of accusations. Since he could take no more, another five-hour inquisition was scheduled for the following week.”
Negy, it should be noted, is an “ethnic and sexual minority,” as described by his attorney.

If you are in the unfortunate habit of relying on the national media for your news and information, you probably didn’t hear about the brutal assault of a Macy’s employee a few months ago. The assailant, 18-year-old Damire Palmer, attacked the unnamed employee at the Genesee Valley Mall in Michigan on June 15 while his brother filmed the crime and later posted it to social media.
The brother told the always credulous (at least when it comes to these kinds of issues) media that the employee, who is white, called him and his brother, who are black, the N-word. It was obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that this story was a fabrication, but it shouldn&#8217;t matter anyway. No bad word could possibly justify felony assault. Apparently the local prosecutor, David Leyton, wasn&#8217;t so sure. It took him over ten days to finally <a href="https://twitter.com/RedWingGrips/status/1276627717547581440?s=20">charge Palmer</a> with a crime.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BREAKING: This afternoon, a Genesee County prosecutor charged 18 year old Damire Palmer with assault to do great bodily harm less than murder &#8211; a maximum 10 year sentence &#8211; after this brutal attack on a Macy&#39;s store employee that took place 2 weeks ago.<a href="https://t.co/k8izEiL9Zo">pic.twitter.com/k8izEiL9Zo</a>
&mdash; John D ● (@RedWingGrips) <a href="https://twitter.com/RedWingGrips/status/1276627717547581440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2020</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
When announcing the charges, Leyton called the alleged slur &#8220;vile&#8221; and &#8220;provoking&#8221; yet expressed doubt that the employee had actually said it.
Now, <a href="https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2020/08/man-testifies-brother-lied-to-him-about-employee-using-racial-slur-ahead-of-michigan-mall-assault.html">according to MLive.com</a>, the rather unsurprising truth has come out. No slur was ever used. It was a lie.
Proving there is no honor among people who randomly assault retail workers, Damire Palmer pointed the finger at his brother in court, claiming that his brother told him that the word was said. He claims he acted out of mistaken wrath and vengeance.
According to a <a href="https://www.abc12.com/2020/08/12/macys-assault-victim-requests-leniency-for-attacker/">local media report</a>, the assistant prosecutor Patrick McCombs assured Palmer that &#8220;he understands the anger that would fuel the assault.&#8221; Perhaps that&#8217;s why Palmer may escape with probation and no criminal record.
Palmer pleaded guilty to assault with intent to do great bodily harm, but McCombs says that he will be sentenced under something called the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. The Michigan law allows offenders — &#8220;trainees,&#8221; they&#8217;re called now — between the ages of 17 and 24 to have their criminal record wiped clean after a probationary period. What this means is that Palmer, after he serves out a sentence that could be as light as probation, will have his charges dismissed and his criminal history magically erased.
Official sentencing isn&#8217;t until September. Technically, Palmer could still be given up to 10 years in prison, but signs seem to be pointing to extreme leniency. Indeed, Leyton <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC12WJRT/status/1293683694566350849">says</a>: &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s looking to hang felonies on young men. I never have and never will.&#8221;
Yes, nobody is looking to randomly hang felonies on young men, but what if young men actually commit felonies? Apparently we are supposed to just pretend it never happened.
We should note that the victim in this case has consented to the lenient sentence. But that hardly seems relevant. He&#8217;s already been attacked once before. He may not want to come out and demand stiffer penalties. Perhaps that&#8217;s because he&#8217;s feeling generous, or perhaps it&#8217;s self-preservation. Whatever the reason, it doesn&#8217;t excuse the injustice being done here.
A few additional points:
First, why has the court focused so much on whether the bad word was said or not? Who cares? It is most definitely not understandable for an adult to commit felony assault in response to a word. The implication from the way this sentencing is working out is that felony assault is essentially legal — or at least not very illegal — if the assailant even so much as believes a racial slur was uttered.
Second, I am sounding like a broken record but here we have another incident that, with races reversed, would not only be headline news but the assailant would almost certainly be looking at hard time behind bars on federal hate crime charges. I personally don’t think the hate crime designation should exist at all, but if we are going to have the category, it ought to be evenly applied. And by any coherent definition, this was a hate crime.
In fact, Damire Palmer&#8217;s admission makes clear that it was a racially motivated attack. He claims he assaulted the store clerk because he thought the clerk had said a word. We can reasonably assume that Palmer would not have assaulted a black man for saying the word. So it&#8217;s not just that the employee allegedly said a word, but that he was a white man allegedly saying it. This is not an argument that the word is the same when used by white people as by black people. Rather it’s an argument that this assault was motivated by the combination of the alleged word and the race of the person who allegedly said it. That, it would seem to me, makes this a racially motivated assault, and thus a hate crime.
Thirdly, this case again serves to highlight the type of &#8220;criminal justice reform&#8221; that is actually needed in this country. The justice system in Michigan, home to one of the most violent cities in America, considers violent and dangerous criminals of a particular age to be “trainees” and will release them back into the community without providing any indication or warning that they are violent and dangerous. This is an outrageous failure to protect society, and the failure is on two levels. First they unleash the dangerous people on society, and then they refuse to tell anyone that they are dangerous.
I do not think we have a large scale problem in this country of the justice system coming down too hard on the bad guys. There are no doubt some examples of that sort of thing, but there are many more examples of the justice system doling out slaps on the wrist when it should be throwing the book. This is just the latest example. The streets of our cities are overrun by violent people who are known to the system and yet are permitted to stay out on the street, until they have finally done something so remarkably heinous that even the most useless prosecutor has no choice but to respond accordingly. I hope that Damire Palmer&#8217;s story doesn&#8217;t go in that direction, but I am not very confident.

It is a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-man-arrested-for-allegedly-executing-white-five-year-old-boy-in-front-of-sisters">story</a> that shocks the conscience. Even amid all of the death and atrocity in the world, it stands out, and sticks with you. Five-year-old Cannon Hinnant was murdered in cold blood this past Sunday while out riding a bike in front of his father’s house. The alleged killer, Darius Sessoms, was witnessed walking right up to the child, putting the gun to his head, and pulling the trigger. An execution at point blank range, of a small child, in front of his sisters who were also playing outside at the time. 
Sessoms initially fled the scene but was caught hours later. It is still not known why he allegedly committed this unspeakable atrocity, though at one level it doesn’t matter. It is obviously a hideous evil no matter the motivation. But you cannot help but ask why, especially when you realize that Sessoms was the next door neighbor, and according to some witnesses, he had just been over for dinner the night before. Whatever the answer to the &#8220;why&#8221; question &#8212; and I suspect we may never be given a coherent one &#8212; a beautiful and joyful child has been taken from the world, and the hole left in his absence will never be filled. That is one thing we know for sure.
Here’s another thing. The name Cannon Hinnant would be known across the country, and the name Darius Sessoms reviled the world over, if the races were reversed. A story of a white man running up to a black child and executing him while he rode his bike would be front page news for weeks. And there would almost certainly be rioting, spurned on in part by the incessant coverage. 
Instead, this story has gotten almost no coverage by the American national media. And when I say “no coverage,” I really mean no coverage. <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1293397738160361472?s=20">A visual here will be instructive</a>.

As of this morning, when I last checked, a search for Cannon Hinnant turned up zero results with the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, Yahoo News, NBC News, and ABC News. A search on CNN also turns up no results, though Google directs to an article by WRAL, a local news channel in North Carolina. APnews.com does have a little blurb about it, but you have to search to find it. It’s a few sentences long and doesn’t make any mention of the races of the people involved.
In the next few days some of these outlets may follow suit and put up their own blurbs, if they feel some pressure for having ignored it. They may eventually cover the case and move on quickly, confident that they now have plausibile deniability from the bias charge. Or maybe the blackout will continue and none of these outlets will ever breathe a word about the case. Either way, the point is clear. This is not something they want to talk about.
It is easy to anticipate the excuses that will be offered — and in some cases have already been offered — for this outrageous disparity. It will be claimed that Cannon’s execution is not as newsworthy because it was carried out by a civilian, not an agent of the state. But Ahmaud Arbery was killed by civilians. So was Trayvon Martin. They are both household names.
It will be argued that this crime wasn’t racially motivated, which is supposed to make it less relevant to the general public. But even if I agreed with the premise that non-racially motivated crimes aren’t as relevant (and I don’t) and even if it’s true that Cannon’s murder wasn’t motivated by race (we don’t know at this point), this argument still doesn’t wash because Michael Brown wasn’t a racially motivated killing. Neither was Freddie Gray. Or Eric Garner. Or George Floyd. Or, really, any of the famous homicide or alleged homicide cases from the last decade or so. None of them have had any proven link to racism. Yet these victims are also household names.
As a last ditch attempt at obfuscation, it will be said that this crime isn’t on video, thus making it less sensational and giving it less viral potential. It is sad if murder is looked at this way these days — as mere content to be consumed — but I concede that this is in fact how the media views the subject. But there was no video of Trayvon Martin. There was no video of Freddie Gray. And on the other side, I can think of plenty of sensational murders that were caught on video yet received very little coverage. Daniel Shaver, the white Arizona man killed by cops while on his knees begging for his life. Or how about Brittany Hill, the black Chicago mother gunned down by gang members while holding her baby? That is one of the most shocking crimes ever to be caught on camera, and yet the national media has said little about it. 
There simply is no explanation for the way these various incidents are treated, other than the most disgraceful and infuriating one — the national media is specifically interested in fueling a certain racial narrative, and they will make the intentional editorial decision to blacklist or downplay any story that interferes with it.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MZNA08mBdsM" width="720" height="385" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">﻿</iframe>
Brittany Hill was ignored because she was killed by men with the wrong color skin. The silence around Cannon Hinnant’s name is even more deafening because he was killed by a man with the wrong color skin while also having the wrong color skin himself. We cannot be so jaded that we don’t stop to really focus on this and consider it for the horror that it is: the national media doesn’t care that Cannon Hinnant died, and doesn’t want you to care, because he was white. It is that straightforward, that sick, that evil. There is no way around this. It is the truth. It is undeniable.
The lesson that we take from this is crucial. We live in the Information Age, but information is not the same thing as knowledge, even less is it perspective or wisdom. To be informed of something is merely to be made aware of certain events, often presented in bits and pieces. But we have confused information with knowledge, which means that the people giving us information also give us the illusion of knowledge. They sift through the events of modern society, pulling bits from here and bits from there, presenting pieces of different puzzles, but never the full picture.
We take all of those pieces and imagine that we know something about the world. So, if the national media only ever tell us about white on black killing, and only very carefully selected facts about those killings, and they flat out refuse to acknowledge the existence of black on white killing — or if they have to acknowledge it, only in a dismissive way, and certainly never in the context of any kind of larger trend — then we will begin to think that we know something, and what we know, we think, is that America is a racist country where black people are being hunted and killed, and the reverse almost never happens because white people are protected by their privilege and by the racist institutions that elevate them while oppressing everyone else.
The narrative is all that matters. It is the only thing that is ever considered when deciding what not to cover, what to cover, and how to cover it. And that is why Cannon Hinnant, despite being an innocent young child, savagely cut down in broad daylight, will not be memorialized or mourned over the way that George Floyd was. But that does not change the fact that this is a great tragedy which commands our attention. No matter what CNN says — or, more precisely, doesn’t say — about it.

According to the director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth &amp; Poverty, the company that designs nuclear weapons for the United States hosted a 3-day seminar last year for its white executives to illuminate for them their “white privilege” and to deconstruct “white culture.”
<a href="https://christopherrufo.com/national-nuclear-laboratory-training-on-white-privilege-and-white-male-culture/">Christopher F. Rufo</a> writes of <a href="https://www.sandia.gov">Sandia National Laboratories</a>, “I’ve obtained exclusive whistleblower documents revealing that last year, the national laboratory sent its white male executives to the La Posada luxury resort to undergo a mandatory training called ‘White Men’s Caucus on Eliminating Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia in Organizations.’”
The company supervising the session was named “<a href="https://wmfdp.com">White Men As Full Diversity Partners</a>.”
Rufo writes that trainers at the opening session made their subjects list terms associated with white male culture. The trainers listed “white supremacists,” “KKK,” “Aryan Nation,” “MAGA hat,” “privileged,” and “mass killings.” The subjects were urged by the trainers to “work hard to understand” their “white privilege,” “male privilege,” and “heterosexual privilege.”
The “roots of white male culture,” such as “rugged individualism,” “a can-do attitude,” “hard work,” and “striving towards success” were characterized as “devastating” to women and people of color.
In a section labeled “Privilege Statements” were the following examples:
<blockquote>Not worrying about being pulled over by police for no reason; Easier to access the “system”; Easier to get promoted; Easier to fit into corporate America; As a Majority we often prevail in elections, which drive our society and economy; White privilege is being able to buy a home in any neighborhood they want; I don’t have to remove my family pictures from my house for quicker sale of my house; No history (In the USA) of being legislated against, such as scalp bounties, ethnic extermination, slavery.</blockquote>
One paper from the training session, headed “Assumptions about W men,” featured pithy aphorisms such as “oblivious to their privilege,” “Good Ol Boy network,” and “Entitled and born with resources.”
On another page, questions like these were listed: “How do we help ourselves become less oblivious to white male privilege?” “How do we let people know we are diverse?”
More questions: “Would you be comfortable being mentored by a person of color? And at a lower level?” “Do WM/WF view people of color as inferior?”
On a page labeled “Key Messages,” the training provided the following assertion: “I know now that as a white male, I have privilege and it’s critical I use this privilege to bring others up, thereby reducing the weight they have been carrying.” On another page listing videos, it listed, “White Men: Time to Discover Your Blind Spots.”
Another session featured the white male executives voicing “white privilege statements” and “male privilege statements.”
Rufo writes, “Finally, as the reeducation camp concludes, the white males must write letters ‘directed to white women, people of color, and other groups regarding the meaning of this Caucus experience.’ They apologize for their ‘privilege’ and pledge to become ‘better [allies].’”

After weeks of apparent <a href="https://www.elitedaily.com/p/maddie-kenzie-zieglers-apologies-for-their-old-offensive-videos-are-important-step-30714486">pressures</a> from fans to apologize, actress and professional dancer Maddie Ziegler, 17, posted a lengthy statement to social media Tuesday apologizing for her past “racially insensitive” videos that were made when she was nine years old.
“I thought it was funny to mock people and accents,” the post <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/maddieziegler/2368468307260267720/">said</a>, in part. “I’m honestly ashamed and I’m truly sorry for my actions. The decisions I made then are absolutely not decisions I would make today.&#8221;
&#8220;What I thought was silly humor when I was younger I know was actually ignorant and racially insensitive,” added Ziegler. “We have all made mistakes in our lives and as we grow up we educate ourselves and learn to be better people.”
<a href="https://www.elitedaily.com/p/maddie-kenzie-zieglers-apologies-for-their-old-offensive-videos-are-important-step-30714486">According</a> to Elite Daily, the videos in question show Ziegler allegedly &#8220;making racist jokes about Asians, including mocking their accents and facial features, when she was 9 years old.&#8221;
Ziegler was part of a reality TV series called &#8220;Dance Moms&#8221; from 2011 to 2016, has had roles in numerous movies, and is best known for her appearances in Sia music videos.
“There are a few videos some of you have seen from when I was about 9 years old where I thought it was funny to mock people and accents,” the statement said. “I’m honestly ashamed and I’m truly sorry for my actions. The decisions I made then are absolutely not decisions I would make today. What I thought was silly humor when I was younger I know was actually ignorant and racially insensitive. We have all made mistakes in our lives and as we grow up we educate ourselves and learn to be better people.”
“Growing up in the public eye has its challenges and also comes with the responsibility to set a good example which I failed to do in these videos,&#8221; the teenager continued. &#8220;I hope you will forgive me and also hope you realize I have in fact grown up and would never act this way now.”
“I know some of you are hurt and may not accept my apology,&#8221; Ziegler added. &#8220;But I want to ask all of you to please be kind to each other on socials. There is no need to attack each other or try to defend me. I don’t want anyone to feel bullied and think we can all learn from my mistakes and spread love during these times when we need it most.”
As noted by <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1176403/maddie-ziegler-apologizes-for-past-quot-ignorant-and-racially-insensitive-quot-videos">E! News</a>, Ziegler&#8217;s younger sister, Mackenzie Ziegler, who is 16, also took to social media to apologize for her past behavior.
&#8220;I&#8217;m much more educated now than I was before, and I&#8217;m so sorry&#8230; I&#8217;m so sorry that I offended the Black community, I would never treat you like that now,&#8221; Mackenzie offered. &#8220;And if you guys don&#8217;t forgive me, I completely understand.&#8221;
Mackenzie also appeared on the reality show &#8220;Dance Moms.&#8221;

Actress Apologizes For ‘Racially Insensitive’ Videos She Made At 9 Years Old | The Daily Wire

Former ESPN sportswriter <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi9k-8eyypI&amp;feature=emb_title">Jason Whitlock</a> argued Tuesday that recently released body cam footage from two officers involved in the arrest of George Floyd shows that the mainstream racial narrative surrounding Floyd&#8217;s death was a &#8220;race hoax&#8221; used to divide America.
&#8220;Leaked video exposes George Floyd&#8217;s death as tragedy and race hoax used to divide us,&#8221; <a href="https://www.outkick.com/george-floyd-bodycam-footage-shows-it-wasnt-about-race-will-nbactivists-actually-admit-that/">reads</a> the headline to Whitlock&#8217;s opinion piece published by Outkick on Tuesday.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-police-bodycam-footage-shows-moment-by-moment-arrest-of-george-floyd-for-the-first-time">footage</a>, released by <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8576371/Police-bodycam-footage-shows-moment-moment-arrest-George-Floyd-time.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Daily Mail</a> on Monday, was taken from the body cameras of Officers Thomas Lane, 37, and Alex Kueng, 26, after responding to a call that Floyd was allegedly using counterfeit money at Cup Foods. The footage shows Floyd acting in an erratic manner that prompts police to question if he is intoxicated and includes Floyd resisting attempts to get him in the back of the police car, citing his &#8220;claustrophobia,&#8221; &#8220;anxiety,&#8221; previously having &#8220;COVID,&#8221; and his difficulty breathing. Floyd eventually begins yelling that he &#8220;can&#8217;t breathe&#8221; and saying he&#8217;d prefer to be on the ground than in the car.
Whitlock argued that the footage suggests the officers involved were &#8220;appropriate and restrained given Floyd’s level of resistance and bizarre conduct,&#8221; adding that it also &#8220;reasonably explains how and why Floyd wound up on the ground with multiple officers restraining him.&#8221;
The sports journalist emphasized that the video &#8220;does not justify officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes.&#8221; However, he argued, the video offers &#8220;context&#8221; for &#8220;why Chauvin would be reluctant to believe Floyd’s &#8216;I can’t breathe&#8217; cries,&#8221; citing his repetition of false claims and &#8220;panicked, disoriented, desperate and totally non-compliant&#8221; behavior.
Whitlock then listed his &#8220;takeaways&#8221; from the offered footage, highlighting the media&#8217;s unjustified racial angle:
<ul>
<li>Floyd’s behavior escalated a routine arrest into a possible abuse of force.</li>
<li>The George Floyd case is not a race crime. No rational person can watch that footage and conclude the police were motivated by Floyd’s black race.</li>
<li>It’s going to be virtually impossible to convict former officers Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao of any crime. </li>
<li>It will be equally difficult to convict Chauvin of murder.</li>
</ul>
Noting the professional athletes pouncing on the tragedy to smear police and play up a racial narrative that he argues does not exist, Whitlock asked when LeBron James, Steve Kerr, Gregg Popovich, and Adam Silver will be asked &#8220;their thoughts on the leaked Floyd footage.&#8221;
&#8220;The NBA, the NFL and Major League Baseball chose to drape themselves in Black Lives Matter symbols and view all negative encounters between black people and white people as examples of white supremacy,&#8221; Whitlock wrote, saying that life is &#8220;far more complicated&#8221; than its portrayed on social media.
&#8220;What happened to George Floyd is more complicated than the substance-less assertion that Derek Chauvin acted out of racial animus,&#8221; he writes. &#8220;Chauvin abused his power. His defense lawyers will argue he was baited into abusing his power by Floyd.&#8221;
Heads of professional sports organizations have used &#8220;fear-driven leadership&#8221; and &#8220;turned America’s great unifier — sports — into a racial divider,&#8221; Whitlock asserted.
